Lions Clubs Motto is "We Serve". The Loveland Lions perform a number of varied service projects in and around the Loveland community. Some of our most publicized projects are KidSight. It is a program where the club conducts eye screenings for children from 6 months to 6 years of age. We currently conduct screenings in all pre-schools and kindergartens in the Thompson School District with about 1,200 kids checked each year. In another project, the club operates the Buckhorn Northern Railroad from Memorial Day to Labor Day. This program allows the club to support the needs of our visually impaired residents. In addition to these there are over 2 dozen projects staffed each year that need help. Members continue to develop service projects where the club may add value to the Loveland community. The club does utilize volunteers from the community but the vast majority of the work is staffed by club members. If you would like to become a Lion member ,we would like to explore it with you. If you are interested in volunteering without joining, please contact us for more information.

Built and installed in 1977, the Buckhorn Northern Railroad in North Lake Park has been operating from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day. In 1988 the City of Loveland purchased the train and has been operated by the Lion Club ever since that time. The Buckhorn Northern Railroad is an authentic replica of the actual steam train that hauled clay from the Devil's Backbone to Wild's Brick Yard. The train includes 1588 feet of track, a small depot, a tunnel, a water tower, a diesel-powered engine, two open passenger cars, a cattle car and a caboose. The train normally runs 6 days a week. Ridership includes children going for their first train ride to senior citizens. Riders are from all over including tourists from many countries. Needed are volunteers to staff all functions including Engineer, Conductor, and Station Agent. Successful candidates must be friendly, organized, able to follow procedures and enjoy volunteering in a fun environment. Engineers must be over 18 to operate the engine
